laurieb755 's review for:
Delicious!
by Ruth Reichl
Not sure who to thank for this one but probably it was my local library's e-newsletter containing a quick description and review of Delicious!
Ruth Reichl - the author's name had a ring of familiarity though I was never a Gourmet reader so am not sure where I would have heard of her; perhaps on a television show?
Am glad I have heard of her now; her writing is delicious and her plot as tasty as your favorite full course meal. I liked the twists and turns, the characters of Sammy and Lulu and Sal & Rosalee, and the descriptions of smells, food and meals that never felt like they were tossed in just to make a salad. Rather, they were fully a part of the story, and without those loving gastronomic delights there would be no story.
This is fare for the reader who likes to think and figure things out, who appreciates a good meal, who likes rich characters with whom you can feel you actually know them, and enjoys a writer who doesn't mince her words.
Have fun! And think about Bertie and the library clues. Ingenious!
